ACLU's students' rights conference Wednesday

More than 100 students from across Middle Tennessee are expected to attend a local conference that aims to explore their rights in school and in their communities.

The annual Students' Rights Conference, hosted by the American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee on Wednesday, will feature discussion on topics ranging from lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights to privacy, freedom of the press and activity at the state legislature, according to spokeswoman Lindsay Kee.

"They'll get a real dose of education on what their rights are as articulated in the Bill of Rights," Kee said.
